HAND REST FOR'FISHIVNG Rents.

Application filed. September 22, 19221 seal No.5sa947.

To all whom it mag/concern:

Be it known that we, FRANcIsJ. SINKnLA and HERMAN H. Kowrrz, citizens of the United States, residing. at Pembine, in the 5 county of Marinette and State of Wisconsin, have invented new and useful Improvements in Hand Rests for Fishing Reels, of which "the. following is a spec'ification. -T'his inventionrelates "to a hand rest for 9 fishing reels and has for its primary object the construction of a device that may be readily attached to reels now in use and whenin place to allow 'more effective grip between the hand of the user and thereel. An object of the invention is the construction of a hand restthat will protect the hand of theuser' from being out upon the reel.

Besides the above our invention is distinguished in the, novel form of rest that is so shaped thatthe same may be very rigidly connected to a reel. V

With these and other ob ects in view the I invention will be better understood from the r following. detailed description taken in connection with 1 the accompanying drawing wherein: Y s V I s Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the'reel showing our improved rest applied thereto.

Q Fig. 2 is an endelevation. Fig.3 is a sectional view on the line 3 -3 of Fig. 2 showing the reel in full line;

Fig. 4 is a sectionalview on the line l -4i 'ofFig'.l. v f Again referring to the drawing illustrating' one o-tthe manyconstructions oi 5 our invention; the numeral 1 designates a Twell f known form ofreel having the clamp nut r 2 and theend plate 3rigidly heldin place by 40' the cross :bars 4 Our .improvedrest; is

formed from sheet metalfland has. an annu j lar wallfi and an inclined wall Gtha't has, projecting therefrom' a slotted tongue 71 en'- J "gage'd by the nut 2.; Thewalldhas its edge portion formedinto a bead 8 that engagesoverthe peripheral edge of the plate Ap-= ertured lugs 9 "also proj set" from the" ins V clinedwall and are secured tothe ends of the cross bars fl. To complete the'invention 5e clips 10 extend from the bead and engage "behind the plate 3. and thus itwill .be seen that the various parts are s0 arrange'd'and coact in such a manner that the rest is rigidly connected to the'reel. In the use of the reel the palm of the hand is brought. into engagement with the end plate 3 an'd the overhanging lip 11 extends slightly over the hand thereby. accomplishing. a very effective grip between the hand and reel while at the Y' same time allowing the fingers to easily ma- 60.

nipulate the line and support the pole. It is, of course, to be understood that the invention. may be constructed in various other manners and the; parts associated in different relations and, therefore,,we'do not desire to belimited in any manner except as set IEOI'tll in the claims hereunto appended,

Having thus described our inventionwhat weclaimis: j. J r
